I’ve been extremely busy at my office recently with year-end and new-year tasks. Unfortunately, I’ve not been able to visit many of my favorite blogs to let you know how much I love your creations!I realize there are sooo many awards given to various blogs and I wanted to create my own ~personal ~ from the heart award.My sister, Valerie, has spearheaded an amazing project called the Winter Feast for the Soulhttp://www.winterfeastforthesoul.com/ which now has thousands of participants throughout the world. Please take a peek at her site for all the details.One of the sponsors of the Winter Feast is http://www.gratefulness.org/, a very cool site encouraging gratitude. I wrote to them asking if I could use one of their cards to give to my wonderfully talented blogging friends. They said YES! I fell in love with one particular picture, it’s purple of course, but sooooo amazingly beautiful … It was exactly what I had in mind! And so, this is for you:No special rules for this one, feel free to pass it along to as many blogs as you wish! I would love it if you would post the picture and link to Gratefulness.org.Just know that this comes from my heart to you ~ my inspriation!

And so on..I hope I have not missed anyone…if I find that I did, I will immediately add you to this list!! Thanks for putting up with my long-winded post today!..............................................................................................................I give it to Susi

Thank you so much Eviledna, she wrote on her blog:This award is for Anjaand Emilie.I thought this award VERY appropriate as they both create the most stunning work. Do go and have a look at their blogs, Anja gives tutorials on her blog, which I think is very generous of her to share..................................................Ich bin derzeit krank, hab mir den Nerv eingeklemmt und kann mich kaum schmerzfrei bewegen, umso mehr hab ich mich heute über Anns Award gefreut. Ich möchte ihn weitergeben an Susi, an Tine und an Steffi.
